Works with Nikon one camera

It's a little remote control for Canon DSLRs, once you've set your camera into the right mode for remote shutter activation, you just point this at it and press the grey button. Your camera autofocuses (unless you have it on manual) then 2 seconds later your camera it takes the photo. Simple.However... you will need a Canon DSLR with an IR sensor in the handgrip for this device to work. Check before you buy this! I'm not sure all Canon DSLRs do.There are a couple of caveats though. Firstly, there is only 2 seconds between button press and photo taken. This appears to be fixed. Although on the Canon official one you can apparently get up to 10 (and certainly if you just press the shutter button manually on the camera).Also the official one has switch on the back to allow instant photo taking. This one always has the two seconds.However, you can activate video recording and turn it off remotely with this remote, handy if you need to appear in the video!Just as a note: I had a fault develop in my Amazon Basic's remote after a couple of weeks, though Amazon replaced it swiftly after I let them know and the replacement has been fine.If you need a wireless remote cheaply, and have the right camera (and want to activate photos from in front of it - like for a group shot) then this will do the job fine! Also useful for if you want to take a photo and avoid wobble when you press the button, like for telephoto shots of the moon, for example.

This just works really well. I've had other third party and copies of the Nikon ML-L3 before. They worked but never seamlessly. Now, in the main, they worked OK at the beginning and then failed when I came back to them some time later. It's possible this Amazon one will go the same way (one wonders how much difference there is internally on these various remotes). If that happens, I'll update this review. No, really, unlike many, I do frequently update reviews.Even with that caveat, I like the feel of this thing better straight away. It's simple but well made with a good, easy to use button. I've tried from in front and behind the camera and from about 25 feet or so away. All good. It also takes multiple exposures by holding down the button.

This works just as well as others which cost an awful lot more. Very easy to use just point towards the camera and click. No need for pairing or complicated set up either. Great bit of kit

Complete rubbish, worked twice from new. Put new battery in and it is dead as a dodo. I have to goive it one star just to submit this review.

I am not sure about this one. the idea is great, but it only works when in front of the camera, short distance, and with interuptions, a lot of time does not actuate. Probably better go with something more professional.

Its very rare to find third party products that surpass the original brand specs and at a vastly lower price but amazon managed to do this with little to no effort. This remote has a more robust design and better finish than it nikon counterpart with a more reliable warranty period. That fact its signal can travel up to 5 meters is a huge benefit when moving around in a large studio or out doors. There is a slight delay from trigger to shot, but this is expected with wireless transmissions and can be fixed with enough practice.I must address that that depending on the model of dslr you're using, the means of pairing the remote will vary however this is usually something that is performed in the camera settings or options. I run a Nikon D5500, so i have to follow this method but since the instructions are simple to use it'll be easy for any new buyer to get up and running with their gear. With that said I still highly recommended purchasing this item for the level of freedom you get.
